Not sure why you took a downvote. I think it is plain to see that we are unlikely to have free and fair elections in 2028, possibly even the next cycle.

Wishing people off the island like this is so foolish. There are a lot of scientists who will be leaving the US due to funding cuts, and the result for you is decidedly worse, not better.

They've fired the people responsible for combating foreign interference operations (CISA), have positioned the FBI and DOJ to investigate political adversaries, and have set up the military to follow unlawful orders. Buckle up. I will

I can assure you that a great number of the people who disagree with you don't just "hate Musk" or have Trump derangement syndrome or something. This assumption that people only disagree with you for bad faith reasons or aren

I do remember that, and I would say that they are still largely correct. Tesla needed government subsidies, Amazon needed AWS, and Uber needed a pandemic and Uber eats. The core businesses that HNers were referring to are still weak.

I have wondered about it as well. I worry that I'll get a few results that are slightly outside of normal range and then sit around wondering if I'm dying, which seems like more stress than it's worth.

There used to be a page of Doug McIlroy "facts". I managed to hunt this page down by searching around. http://git.9front.org/plan9front/plan9front/c28f07b5840216c4... One of the "facts" is: &gt

It is likely a bit of nostalgia on my part, but one of my first gigs had an owner that was focused on XP being the way we worked, and given how junior the team was overall, I think it produced excellent results and made for a fun, lively at

A couple of things: 1. This idea that "you can't tell if you mindlessly scroll past it" isn't a very good measurement. 2. Given IG is slowly filling up with AI slop, I actually do spend a decent amount of time going &quo

This is IMO an excellent example, and the one I came to post.

I think maybe it is intended as a critique of systems where the individual parts don't compose or scale particularly well, where it feels sort of hollow to call it a "system" because of how uncoordinated and inefficient it is

Right, and even there I think we might need to get specific about categories of images. Images that are supposed to be photo realistic are far easier to spot than "battleship in outer space" generations. Bringing it back to the to

Do you have a test you like? I just took one at https://sightengine.com/ai-or-not?version=2024Q3 and got 18/20 correct, and I'm not zooming in on details or anything, I'm just using some basic discrimination

Oh, please. I've generated many, many images. They are not hard to spot.

Even the main spring? For some of the components it seems like a significant sacrifice in quality to make it yourself. I appreciate people can make their own, but I also think the obsession some folks have with in house movements is mispl

Could I ask why you find yourself working on older machines? Work? A fan of retro computing? Something else?

I have stopped wearing my Apple watch other than for workouts and occasionally get phantom vibrations.

I find it just fine as well. I feel like a generation of marketing around Malort was "it's really gross!", but it's a distinct taste that I don't think a chunk of people would find so offensive if they weren't

I doubt they were talking about any kind of "adult" content. The situation they're referring to is more like "your second grader should be focused on multiplication, not long division."

Even if you care about it, you will still often wind up with a junk drawer of JSONB. I don't really see it as a problem unless people are writing bad queries against it instead of lifting values out of the JSONB into their own columns,
